When i started my first wordpress blog ,i used only a few ping services but over time my wordpress ping list has grown bigger and bigger.When i checked my log file i found that some of the ping services has not been pinged successfully due to some errors.So i decided to post a list of my latest working WordPress ping list for 2012.

2.Under the update service option paste the below ping services and save your settings as on the image below

3.Note that WordPress pings all edited posts by default and excessive pinging can be bad for your site’s SEO .Use plugins like MaxBlogPress Ping Optimizer(download here) to optimize the pinging services.You would also like to read my post on

Thanks for the list. The point you make about excessive pinging is a serious problem and I hope wordpress fix this issue in there next update. I use ping optimiser and manually ping sites (delete list and add list) only when required.

We must also often check the ping list for errors and remove those url which cannot be pinged by referring the ping log.I have made this list after removing so many error URL’s. Thanks and Happy blogging 🙂

As you are using MaxBlogPress Ping Optimizer,you can enter the URL’s to ping in the ping optimizer dashboard itself as the ping list will be automatically synchronized with the WordPress ping list settings.

Thanks for this comprehensive list Gowtham – I use “CBNet Ping Optimizer” (instead of MaxBlogPress, which you have to register to use; works the same though) and yours is a far more effective list than the one I was using before – only 3 errors in a long list, compared to at least 7 in my smaller list before!
